About Photographers' Formulary Sodium Thiosulfate

What you're looking at is a 20lbs package of Anhydrous Sodium Thiosulfate, a versatile chemical compound with a multitude of uses. This product is primarily used in the preparation of fixing baths, serving as a key ingredient in various reducers. Sodium Thiosulfate, also known as 'hypo', is available in two forms: anhydrous and the more commonly found crystalline form.

The crystalline form of hypo, when dissolved, significantly lowers the water temperature, making it essential to start with water of at least 90 degrees Fahrenheit or 32 degrees Celsius when mixing. On the other hand, the anhydrous form does not have this effect, making it a more convenient option for certain applications.

When substituting, remember to use 64% of the anhydrous salt as a replacement for the crystalline hypo. This 20lbs Anhydrous Sodium Thiosulfate is a reliable choice for those in need of a high-quality, versatile chemical compound for their various needs.
